Top 10 Regencies/Cities in Indonesia with the Highest Number of Covid-19 Agglomeration-Related Deaths Nationwide (Thursday, May 26, 2022)

The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 47 regencies/cities with an agglomeration death rate due to Covid-19 above the national average, currently recorded at 0.01 per 100,000 population per week, data as of Thursday, May 26, 2022.

The five regencies/cities with the highest agglomeration death rate due to Covid-19, exceeding 0.42 per 100,000 population per week, are Gorontalo Utara (0.89 per 100,000 population per week), Kutai Barat (0.66 per 100,000 population per week), Mamasa (0.61 per 100,000 population per week), Mimika (0.45 per 100,000 population per week), and Purworejo (0.42 per 100,000 population per week).

A recapitulation of national Covid-19 data from the Ministry of Health shows a decrease in the agglomeration death rate due to Covid-19 in most regencies/cities outside Java. Two regencies/cities recorded a higher daily agglomeration death rate due to Covid-19 than previously, while two others recorded lower rates.

Areas outside Java with the highest agglomeration death rate due to Covid-19 include Gorontalo Utara (0.89 per 100,000 population per week), Kutai Barat (0.66 per 100,000 population per week), and Mamasa (0.61 per 100,000 population per week).

Although Covid-19 transmission has decreased in some areas, the government urges everyone to help reduce transmission by consistently wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and frequently washing hands with soap and running water. Avoiding crowds and reducing mobility also contribute to curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
